Biodegradable materials are under investigation due to their promising properties for biomedical applications as implant material. In the present study, two binary magnesium (Mg) alloys (Mg2Ag and Mg10Gd) pure Mg (99.99%) were used in order compare degradation performance of vitro vivo conditions. analysis cell distribution viability was performed on discs Mg, Mg2Ag Mg10Gd. The results verified viable pre-osteoblast cells all three no obvious toxic effect within first weeks. rates conditions...
We report on the long-term effects of degrading magnesium implants bone tissue in a growing rat skeleton using continuous vivo micro-Computed Tomography, histological staining and Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS). Two different alloys—one rapidly (ZX50) one slowly (WZ21)—were used to evaluate response distribution released Mg Y ions femur male Sprague-Dawley rats. Regardless whether alloy degrades or slowly, we found that recovers restitutio ad integrum...
The aim of this study was to investigate bone tissue and plasma levels RANKL OPG in rats with prednisolone-induced osteoporosis evaluate the outcomes physical activity on skeletal system by treadmill vibration platform training. Osteoporosis is a disease characterised low mass structural deterioration leading fragility. Vibration exercise new effective measure prevent muscular atrophy osteoporosis. animals were divided into 5 groups. 1: control rats; 2: receiving prednisolone; 3:...
Over the last decade, demand has increased for developing new, alternative materials in pediatric trauma care to overcome disadvantages associated with conventional implant materials. Magnesium (Mg)-based alloys seem adequately fulfill vision of a homogeneously resorbable, biocompatible, load-bearing and functionally supportive implant. The aim present study is introduce high-strength, lean alloy Mg‒0.45Zn‒0.45Ca, wt% (ZX00), first time investigate clinical applicability screw osteosynthesis...
Implant removal is unnecessary for biodegradable magnesium (Mg)-based implants and, therefore, the related risk implant-induced fractures limited. Aging, on other hand, associated with low bone-turnover and decreased bone mass density, thus increased fracture risk. Osteoporosis accompanied by Mg deficiency, we hypothesized that Mg-based may support formation Mg2+ ion release in an ovariectomy-induced osteoporotic rat model. Hence, investigated osseointegration implant degradation of a...
Magnesium (Mg)-based implants are promising candidates for orthopedic interventions, because of their biocompatibility, good mechanical features, and ability to degrade completely in the body, eliminating need an additional removal surgery. In present study, we synthesized investigated two Mg-based materials, ultrahigh-purity ZX00 (Mg-Zn-Ca; <0.5 wt% Zn Ca, wt%; Fe-content <1 ppm) Mg (XHP-Mg, >99.999 Mg; ppm), vitro vivo juvenile healthy rats clarify effect alloying elements Ca on...
The aim of this study was to determine if nonoperative treatment fractures the tibial spine (intercondylar eminence) in pediatric patients is choice for these injuries.Retrospective clinical analysis a single department.All younger than 17 years presenting with fracture intercondylar eminence between January 1, 1995 and December 31, 2004 were included retrospective study. Patients ossification growth plate (physis) at time accident excluded by protocol.Nonoperative knee aspiration,...
